Once Cleveland was bounced from an exhausting NBA Finals by the Warriors, Nike sidled up to their golden boy, LeBron James, and offered up this little poem/ad/whatever: New Nike LeBron ad pic.twitter.com/p5Of0avA1u — Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) June 21, 2015 It was pretty weird, and seemed to slam Cleveland as much as praise them. However, a […]

Yesterday evening, a LeBron James Facebook post went up to let the world know that the superstar, while still smarting over his NBA Finals loss, was doing well, and getting back in the saddle. In the message, which is embedded below, he speaks to how much he enjoys being back in Cleveland with the fans. […]

Now that the players and fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers have had a week or so to lick their wounds and recover from an exhausting NBA Finals, Nike, the longtime brand of LeBron James, has issued an ad based on Cleveland’s loss. It’s kind of weird, because it’s not congratulatory for their effort, and it […]

The 2015 NBA Finals are in the books, and while the series didn’t reach a do-or-die Game 7, I’m sure most basketball fans would agree that this year’s finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors was awfully exciting all on it’s own. (Television ratings seemed to prove this much.) But even with this […]

Few comedians have more buzz around them right now than Hannibal Buress does. Realizing that, Jimmy Kimmel decided the best way to make use of his comedic talents was to send the man to Oakland for Game 5 of the NBA Finals with a camera, then stick him in some REALLY cheap seats. The results […]

Early in the season, the Golden State Warriors made O.T. Genasis’ song, “CoCo,” their post-victory anthem. A video posted by Mo (@mspeights5) on Nov 26, 2014 at 8:19pm PST But for obvious reasons, they were told to stop using it. (The song’s chorus is “I’m in love with the Coco,” which is a reference to […]

Please enable Javascript to watch this video LeBron James was asked how confident he was is in his chances of winning the championship. The Cavs’ star responded by saying he was still confident because he’s “the best player in the world.” Some applauded James’ confidence (after all, he really is the best player, and maybe […]

These types of videos, the ones with the athletes’ heads superimposed on people, might be the dumbest, most lo-fi work we come across here at TPS, which is saying something. But that doesn’t change the fact that, when done well, they’re pretty amazingly funny—even if they’re not exactly highbrow content. Here we’ve got Steph Curry […]

For those who haven’t been paying attention to the post-game goings-on of the NBA Finals, J.R. Smith, who has shown several new facets of his game in the playoffs, had taken to riding a tiny scooter on his way out of the building. Last night, we saw J.R. Smith take one last mournful ride as […]

There have been some spotty National Anthem performances during this year’s NBA finals, but the past two games have served as something of a redemption. First, Metallica put together a rockin’ version for Game 5, and now we’ve got the wonder that is Marlana VanHoose knocking the socks off the crowd in Cleveland prior to […]

Andre Igoudala may have won the official MVP award, but with all due respect, everybody knows he wasn’t the real MVP of the 2015 NBA Finals. The real MVP of the 2015 NBA Finals was Riley Curry. Stephen Curry‘s kid has been killing it the entire postseason, stealing the spotlight at dad’s post-game press conferences […]

The trophy that Cavs fans wanted most was the Larry O’Brien Trophy, but second on the list was the Bill Russell Trophy for NBA Finals MVP, which many of them felt belonged to LeBron James, win or lose. So when their opinions were not echoed by the voters, 2015 NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala was […]

LeBron James couldn’t bring Cleveland a championship this season, but he put forth one heck of an effort while trying, averaging 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 8.8 assists during his team’s 4-2 series defeat to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. It was certainly an MVP-type performance from LeBron. And the Cavs fans […]

Much like the Chicago Blackhawks did en route to last night’s Stanley Cup victory, the Golden State Warriors erased a 2-1 series deficit against the Cleveland Cavaliers by winning three in a row—capped off by tonight’s convincing Game 6 victory at Quicken Loans Arena. The Cavs managed to make things interesting with big runs at the […]

Here’s some footage of JR Smith looking about as uninterested during David Blatt‘s Game 6 halftime speech as he’s looked throughout most of the NBA Finals: Smith has shot over 40 percent from the field in only one game during the final series against Golden State. Tonight he’s on the verge of shooting just 33 […]
